Sled dogs in Inuit communities are valued working animals with a clear and important purpose. Tanna has always known that dogs are not pets. They are not meant to live in houses. Then one day, Tanna is given a puppy to raise as a pet. Dandy is the cutest pup she has ever seen, but Tanna knows her father will not let her keep Dandy as a pet. She eventually convinces her father to let Dandy into the house, just as a test, to see if she can become a good pet. It's a test that Dandy seems unable to pass—she chews Father's tools and the family's caribou skin clothing; she jumps in the frigid Arctic water and nearly freezes. Finally Father decides Dandy will need to learn to be a sled dog after all, and he and Tanna take Dandy on a trip with the other sled dogs. While out on the land, the family encounters a danger that threatens Tanna's life. Dandy wastes no time in jumping in to protect her owners. Will Dandy's love for her owners win Father over to having a dog as a pet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This book contains full-colour illustrations throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inhabit Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56394962075953,"sku":"aal1789939405678","price":12.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/0925\/7009\/files\/tannas-puppy_1.jpg?v=1789939411","url":"https:\/\/canistersealfit.shop\/products\/tannas-puppy","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
